About Emergency Assistance Foundation

Every 12 minutes, Emergency Assistance Foundation helps a person or family in need. Emergency Assistance Foundation (EAF) is a 501(c)(3) public non-profit that delivers financial assistance to eligible individuals in the immediate aftermath of unforeseen disasters and personal hardships occurring around the world. EAF does this through the administration of 350+ employee relief funds – each sponsored by a company to support its team members in need – as well as through its People First Fund, which activates when large-scale disasters strike to support those affected and empower caring donors to maximize their impact. As a financial first responder, EAF is resourceful and fearless, ensuring that financial assistance reaches individuals and families in need as quickly and efficiently as possible, no matter the location or obstacle. For all its relief funds, EAF objectively manages all activities – including accepting donations, objectively reviewing grant applications, and awarding and distributing grants – while also maintaining legal and regulatory compliance. Since its inception, EAF has helped more than 436,000 individuals and families with assistance totaling over $360 million. EAF has its pulse on disaster events occurring around the world in real time, and its 100-plus team members, located across ten different time zones, are equipped with multilingual response abilities.
